Dane here.

Feelings are different now. IIRC, the most popular app in Denmark right now is an app that tells you if a product is American.

It has become broadly clear, that it is about self preservation.

That sounds like performative bullshit though? A "feel good" thing just like plastics "recycling".

Are people actually choosing to pay fair price for a non-American product? Are people choosing to invest in or start local competitors to those American products? Are governments doing something so that incomes commensurate with quality tech work aren't taxed at 60%? And so on.

Looks like the US exports were at all time highs last year... Pulled by gold and other precious metals:

I couldn't find data to actually answer your question. I just found this that is surprising in a multitude of ways and absolutely useless :)

Every useful report seems to end at 2023.

Why should they do that?

Ok but parent's question stands: why didn't you get the message the first time?

not op, but maybe something along the lines of, "fool me once..." etc.?

And the app is running on a phone with an OS coming from which country?

Like sibling said, this feels like performative BS.

Yeah, the fact that Europe hasn't been able to develop another OS in the last few months/years is proof that nothing can change. Stop trying and wasting time; any effort in this direction is futile.
